Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Where does the "most efficient killing machine on the planet" come from? I hear it repeated all the time. Interesting in the stats behind this.

Black footed cats are successful in 60% of all their hunts, making them the deadliest member of the feline family.

I fly paragliders. I once saw a dragonfly at 1300 feet. Like, wtf was it doing up there?

But frankly to me they look cool, not cute like the subject of the post.

And that is the greatest trick any predator can pull off. Being so cute that humans write off its deadly impact on native ecosystems.

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

...I mean the black footed cat IS native to Africa and doesn't actually impact the ecosystem at all considering it is uh. Native to its range. lol

Little do you know she's plotting on how to kill her next victim without leaving evidence.
